    Is there any problems that might occur when using CVS on a college unix account trying to access the sourceforge CVS system.

    I'm registered with a java project, but I get the following error after entering my password...

    cvs [login aborted]: recv() from server cvs.sourceforge.net: Connection reset by peer

    There are a number of things that could be going wrong, including the possibility of a firewall.

    Another possibility is that you have the wrong path to CVS in your xinetd.conf file.

    If you got this problem today before about 2pm there was a problem with sourceforge's CVS server. I couldnt connect either but it seemed to be resolved after lunch.

    If the firewall wont allow you to establish a connection on port 1204 to cvs then you should be able to use the port 80 and port 443 servers at cvs-pserver.sourceforge.net. They port forward to cvs.sourceforge.net.

    Could you elaborate on that Lynchie, what would be the actual commands?

    Thx

    The sourceforge server is in effect haning up on you duder.

    This doesn't look like a firewalling issue... probably more likely a username/password error.

    any chance one of you cvs gurus would give me a hand getting a project update that sofar is only available that way ---- i downloaded wincvs and have it sort of setup but the only data to put into it that i have is
    cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@asuka.prohost.org:/forum21 checkout fud21_install
    (cant get rid of the smiley)

    i really just dont know what all the bits are to begin with so i'm not sure where to put them into the program :confused:
